Hi everybody,
First, I'm sorry this is probably in the wrong place. Second, I'm sorry this post might already exist... but the best I could find was the same question for Orange County.
I'm a pre-med full-time student at USC. This summer I got my EMT-B cert and passed the NREMT, and after I take Expanded Scope this month I will get licensed in LA County.
From reading these forums, I have learned that 1) EMS in LA "sucks," especially right now and 2) I will basically be bringing patients to dialysis appointments. That's fine with me--it's at least more educational than clerical volunteer work in a hospital. My question is, does anyone know which companies are most flexible? Is it unheard for an EMT to work one 12 hour shift a week? Would you be laughed out of a job interview if you said you can only work weekends? If not, are there any companies in LA that are particularly willing to work with students?
Thank you if you read all that... I appreciate the help!
